5 ATTO Technology Inc. Celerity FC Host Adapters Installation and Operation Manual
Celerity FC-41ES Adapter
The Celerity FC-41ES is a single-channel host adapter
providing support for the most demanding application
requirements. With 4-Gb FC speeds of up to 800
MB/sec. per channel, the FC-41ES is a cost effective
connectivity solution for environments requiring
maximum throughput.
The FC-41ES also takes advantage of the latest in host
interconnect technology: PCI Express, a serial, high-
speed connection that supports aggregate throughput
up to 2 GB/sec. (x4 PCIe) full-duplex. The FC-41ES is
software compatible with existing PCI and PCI-X
products using the same device drivers as other
Celerity FC products, simplifying user installation and
support. It is backward compatible with existing 2-Gb
and 1-Gb Fibre Channel infrastructure, protecting
existing technology investments.
